Jamo Studio S 803 Bookshelf Speaker Pair Black

Product Information

This patent-pending design allows for all of the wire connections on the back of the floorstander, avoiding unsightly and messy speaker wire going all the way up to the Atmos module - for cinematic, completely immersive Dolby Atmos ® sound while preserving the beautiful aesthetic of the Jamo Studio 8 Series. Since they got bought by Klipsch, they seem to have been turned into a "lifestyle" brand, with unique looks and a very Klipschified sound signature. The S 803s have integrated metal fasteners on the top of their cabinets, which serve as a connection point for optional Jamo S 8 ATM Dolby Atmos upward-firing speakers. In small rooms, early reflections figure prominently in what is measured and heard in the room so this curve may provide insights into potential sound quality. This unique pairing gives you three-dimensional sound without needing to install in-ceiling speakers in your room.

But just two years into the new millennium, declining sales prompted management changes and despite relocating production to China, these failed to turn things around. The new Jamo Studio 8 series has been completely re-imagined to live seamlessly in modern, premium environments. I do like, however, that Zeos usually has an accompanying video to his review that is just a sound demo, which I find to be where his strength lies in doing this stuff. It’s a very particular kind of presentation, undoubtedly quite dry, but it’s surprisingly satisfying nonetheless. By making some simplifying assumptions about the listening space, the data set described above permits a usefully accurate preview of how a given loudspeaker might perform in a typical domestic listening room.I know many will view the frequency response results and think “hey, no big deal, I can just equalize them”. Dual S803 Dolby Atmos ready bookshelf speakers, a perfectly tuned centre channel speaker, and two S801 speakers for surround sound add up to an incredible yet compact home theatre. New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging . I am wondering if I am using them properly and/or have them positioned correctly and have the bass/treble set optimally? Mid/bass duties are handled by a 127mm aluminium-coated polyfibre driver reflex loaded by a generous front-firing slot-style port, which is good news if you want to position the Jamo near a rear wall.

In terms of high frequencies, I have found this to be true with pretty much every Jamo speaker that I have heard, including Jama’s higher-end concert series.Another impressive thing is power handling because most speakers use a five-inch woofer again for the money. If you don’t care about accuracy and just want something fun with some character, once again, these are a solid option. Based on provided CEA2034 it is very easy to provide optimum EQ and calculate Preference score based on the EQ results. In the case of the Jamo S803 the DI (the combined “smoothness” of the response on and off-axis) is rather poor which means these speakers won’t take as well to EQ as one would hope. But we have to set our expectations appropriately because we are talking about an ultra-affordable speaker system here.

Audio products have been voiced like this on purpose throughout the headphone industry, even in a high-end industry, for a very long time. Of course, Shawn raved over the Pioneer BS22 in his review of them, which quite a few peeps on here consider the BS22 to be a garbage speaker.

In my basement game room, where the floor is completely covered, they sound closer to neutral and easier on the ears. This all results in a speaker that is frankly a poor performer and one that I would recommend staying away from. The radiated sound is determined in any desired distance and angle in the 3D space outside the scanning surface. They maintain their composure exceptionally well, even when listening to fairly demanding music like electronic or pop or rock or metal or hip-hop. When you boost the treble, you boost the bass, you recess the mid-range, and you do that because, well, quite frankly, a lot of people like that sound.

Contemporary material and finish choices accentuate the clean, minimalist lines of this European design, while the compact cabinet designs with front-facing reflex ports are an ideal solution for urban living environments around the world. This patent-pending design allows for all of the wire connections on the back of the floor stander, avoiding unsightly and messy speaker wire going all the way up to the Atmos module – for cinematic, completely immersive Dolby Atmos® sound while preserving the beautiful aesthetic of the Jamo Studio 8 Series. This results in a 3-5kHz bump in the Estimated In-Room Response that sounds quite “sharp” and sibilant.The neodymium magnet does not stick to another place in the wood trim so I think there are screws under the rubber feet in the bottom trim. Apart from that, if your receiver is powerful enough or if your separate system is powerful enough, the dynamics and the ability for this system to come alive is all the more enhanced. Dual S 803 Dolby Atmos ® ready bookshelf speakers, a perfectly tuned center channel speaker, and two S 801 speakers for surround sound add up to and incredible yet compact home theater.
